This Cute Little Yellow Alien Has Come A Long WayNov 25, 2004
By KiWiSouP

This game started out on newgrounds.com as a popular flash game with a cute yellow alien being shot down and crash landing right into the FBI headquarters. He's gotta shoot his way through enemies to get his ship back. Weapon of choice is an upgradable lazer gun, but you can also slice enemies in half at close range, ride on their backs and bite their heads off, carry or throw themk, even burrow in the ground for a suprise attack. You can also drive many vehicles now and you get to fly the ufo at vertain points in the game where it is presented in a birds eye view. Do not confuse this game with it's flash counterpart...everything has been completely redone. Not one single thing has been recycled. New 2 player mode and 1-4 player mini PDA games will keep you busy for hours. You can even make your own PDA levels. In the world of 3D gaming, this release is a breath of fresh air: all 2D hand drawn stylized animation that looks great!

10/10 Game!Sep 03, 2005
That yellow alien might be cute but he is also bloody violent, this game is one of the best i have played in ages, altough people have told me that the graphics are 'childish' who cares? it's not the graphics that matter:/
the game has great music aswel, and everything about it is great really, it's very hard but what's the point in having a game that is too easy?
overall this game gets what it deserves 5 stars!

8.5/10 stars
Sidescrolling short sci-fi shooter game rocks the house. You can probably beat this game in an hour and thirty minutes but I play it over and over on the different difficulties. Ever wonder how in shooter games people take like 10 bullet shots and live? Well in this game, you take one shot and your dead(unless you have a shield)
The makers seem to have something against the FBI to have them in here. 16 levels in all with mini-games for multiplayer or single player. Also includes PDA levels with a PDA level editor. Boss fights can be tough and challenging if you don't know what to do but they're not like games where you do it over and over trying to find a weakness. Some bosses are really simple because they tell you what to do. For example, one boss has a note on his body that says "DO NOT DAMAGE HEAD." 3 worlds that include city,Russia, and Area 51 will have you wanting for more everytime you play it. When I first got it, I couldn't put my hands down.

Dude O_OJan 01, 2005
This is my favorite Gamecube game of all time. It's for both old skool and new skool gamers! It's side scrolling action throughout the whole game.
The sounds and music are so cool and go perfectly with the boss battles and levels. There are many cool things to do in it. Theres 2 player mode, mini games, huge challenging bosses, LOTS of action
~(I have beaten the game and I honestly don't think I have seen a part in it that didn't have action)
It's a bit bloody like if you slice a person they look like ham =) it's funny watching that happen. There are also many things you can do in it such as roll, backflip, jump, jump ON the people, bite their heads off, shoot them, slice them, dig underground, is that it?
And the powerups, WOW! All the gun powerups do completely different things. They can freeze, burn, melt, dissolve, blow up, shoot tons of fast tiny bullets, and they are all VERY bright and colorful and fun to watch.
Anyone who likes both old games and the newer ones should get this game!
